Best Answer

The lockstitch is the stitch most sewing machines perform, which takes two threads. One thread passes through a needle (above the fabric), and the other comes from the bobbin (below the fabric). Each thread stays on the same side of the material being sewn. The sewing machine interlaces the two threads at each needle hole, by means of a bobbin driver.
